Already posted in the Linux thread, might as well post here too :3

EndeavourOS, i3wm. I borrowed the polybar config, but I wrote basically everything else myself.

Also made a lil thing for animated wallpapers for when I'm in the mood for them.

One of these days I’d like to try i3wm. Hanging around on Gnome because it does what I need.

It's pretty good, you just gotta set it up the way you like, it just takes a while to do so. Though I suppose that's true for anything.

What I think turns a lot of people off from it is the fact that it's kinda ugly when you first launch it (and it's a little unintuitive if you havent been around the wm block before). I have my full config hosted in a private github repo, I wouldnt mind making it public in a day or so to share if you'd like some reference from it.

i3wm? why not KDE, or Xcfe?

I just prefer WMs by themselves since I'm more keyboard-centric, and also like window tiling. They're also more hackable (easier customizable) imo. Dont get me wrong, KDE and XFCE are great- just not exactly for me, especially considering some of my machines arent exactly rocking in the hardware department. Just makes it easier to run, ya know?

macOS is honestly awesome.
As a Linux user for a hot minute, I’ve been enjoying it. It does have some Apple problems and annoyances but it’s at least not shoving ads into my OS and other nonsense of Windows

I've been mostly a Windows user throughout my entire life - before swiftly moving onto Linux because of how increasingly bloated Windows is, and the fact that there are so many unpatched vulnerabilities.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
